Hon I L Edwards
Sir I forward in company with this the Deposition of John Farrow & Conrad Heye, evidence in the Pension Case of Meriam Farrow widow of Ezekiel Farrow. In your letter to me you enquired why Mr Farrow did not apply in 1818. At the time in which John Farrow above named applied Ezekiel Farrow also made a Declaration before Hon Ebenezer Thatcher a Judge of one of the Courts of Maine & proved his claim - but from Religious scruples & an unwillingness on the part of his christian brethren to raise money for War services, (he being of the denomination of Friends) he did not suffer his Declaration & Proof to be forwarded to the War department. I addressed a letter to Hon E Thatcher & received an answer saying that he had found his Book containing the Applicants names for Pension that John Farrow & Ezekiel Farrow applied April 9 1818. That John Farrow's Certificate was received Aug. 1819 but Ezekiel Farrow's was not received by him. I have been endeavouring to find these old papers but I have not been able.
Mr Thatcher lives in a remote part of the State & I do not think his having applied in 1818 would be any proof of service but if there is a necessity to prove that fact I could obtain the Deposition of Mr Thatcher although the expense to Mr Farrow would be considerable in getting the necessary certificates etc. I have thought best to enclose with the

Applicant. If successful the words "Certificate received" together with the date of receiving the same & the person to whom delivered Or if the Applicant was unsuccessful the word "rejected" and some- times the date of of rejection - Accordingly in the before mentioned cases I find under the name of Sam l Weston Certificate received June 1819 - Under the name of William Robbins the word & figures "Certificate received Aug t 1819 - Under the name of James Melcalf the word "rejected"

I Ebenezer Thatcher of Bingham in the County of Somerset and State of Maine aged fifty nine - I certify and say that in the year One Thousand eight hundred and eighteen I was a Judge of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas for the second Eastern District in this State - That while in said Office a number of the Soldiers of the Revolution came before me, and made declaration of their respective services in the Revolutionary War, in order to obtain Pensions by virtue of the Law of the United States of March 18-1818 - in their behalf -
That I have examined carefully the book which I then kept for the purpose of recording the names & places of abode of such applicants - (the date of their application -) also the result of their application at the War Office - That I find in said Book, that on the 9 th day of April of said Year 1818 - Samuel Weston of Warren - William Robbins of Union - Amariah Mero of said Union - Alpheus Delano & James Metcalf of Friendship - William Keen, Ebenezer Bearce, Alexander Waskine, John Harrow, & Gabriel Farnow of Bristol, all in the County of Lincoln appeared before me, and made their several declarations of Revolutionary service, to which they annexed their signatures & were severally sworn to the truth of the facts therein contained. That their names were then recorded by me as they now appear.
That I have every reason to believe & do believe that all the above cases were made out to my satisfaction; & that such evidence was then produced in all the above cases as satisfied me of the reality of such service having been performed, as entitled them to the benefit of the Law aforesaid - From recollection as well as from the inspection of said Book, I find that my practice was to note the result of applications as soon as their fate at the Department was communicated to me - by writing under the name of the Applicant. If successful the words "Certificate received" together with the date of receiving the same & the person to whom delivered. Or if the Applicant was unsuccessful the word "rejected" and sometimes the mode of rejection - Accordingly in the before mentioned cases I find under the name of Sam l Weston Certificate received June 1819 - Under the name of William Robbins the words & figures "Certificate received Augt 1819 - Under the name of James Metcalf the word "rejected"

under the name of Ebenezer Beane the words "returned as not Continental" and the like in all the above cases including that of John Farrow (under whose name are the words & figures "Certificate received Aug 10/14 & D o Col McCobb") with the exception of Ezekiel Farrow, under whose name there is no entry - either of his certificate being received, or his application being rejected - I am therefore induced to believe that I did not forward the declaration of Ezekiel Farrow to the Department with the others before mentioned - As I have no doubt that if it had gone with them it would have the result of the application would have been noted as well as all the others of the same date - that I know of no reason why the declaration of said Ezekiel should not have been forwarded to the Department, unless it was in consequence of some conscientious scruples which were expressed by him in consequence of some connection with the Society of Friends or Quakers and which seemed to operate upon his mind - I recollect that he expressed some misgivings - but at this distance of time, I am unable to say whether his feelings were, or were not so strong on this subject, as to prevent his forwarding his papers to Washington. Of this he came before me on the 9 th of April 1810 together with John Farrow & the others aforementioned - & that he made subscribed & swore to a Declaration of Revolutionary service which satisfied me of the justice of his claim I have no doubt - And I have from the facts before stated little less doubt that from some cause his declaration was not presented to the Department

The term of my enlistment as well as the term of entertainment of the said Ezekiel Garrow & John Garrow was for one year. The said John Gar- row was taken prisoner in the Fall of 1776 but the said Ezekiel Garrow remained in the service until his year expired for which he had enlisted and went home. When my year was expired for which I enlisted the want of men was so great that I remained six months longer making

eighteen months since. I further depose that the said John Garrow is now living in Washington in the said county of Lincoln. I am also well acquainted with Miriam Garrow widow of the said Ezekiel Garrow & who is now living in Bristol aforesaid at an advanced age.
I further state that after our Regiment was made up we Marched from Cambridge in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to the State of New York & were stationed in the State of New York & a part of the time was encamped on the borders of the Lakes -

Hon. J. L. Edwards
Sir Accompanying this forward you the Deposition of Dea Eben Thatcher to be read in the case of Mrs. Miriam Parrow Widow of Ezekiel Parrow late of Bris- tol a Revolutionary Soldier
Your favour of 9 th June last was duly received & you say "That Ezekiel Parrow was in the service in 1776 is proved by his appointment as Mate of the Ship Fanny but the length of his service is a mat- ter of some uncertainty"
We have produced the only attainable evidence which can be produced at this late day and as the Declaration of proof taken before Judge Thatcher so cannot now be found hope you will give her case that lenity the case requires - I trust you will find the evidence to be supported by the Rolls, if any thing are sufficient to entitle her to some relief if not to the full term claimed -

Mr Chamberlain -
Yours of 12 instant was received
by me at this place where I now live - But living formerly lived at Maser as many of my old papers were still there - I have since been at Maser and devoted an afternoon to the search for Pension papers - from the length of time that has elapsed since the Pensioners first made their Declarations, I did not anticipate that any use would ever be made of them, and therefore prob- ably many minutes of evidence are lost - I however found my book in which the Bristol and other documents for pensions are recorded which contains the names of applicants and the date of application is also the result of those applications to the Department - Among others from Bristol I have the names of Ezekiel Han- nan & John Harnan, date of application 9 th Apr 1810 John Harnan's certificate was received and D r Gen M - Bldg 100 th of August 1819 - Why Mr Ezekiel Harnan's certificate was not received with John's from the War Office does not appear my impression is that they both established their claim before me, but cannot recollect particulars - possibly I may have after found

Some more particulars - we may call to mind some new facts that have now escaped my recollection. - I would most cheerfully do any thing in my power to aid Mrs. Turner to establish her just claims, which I would consistently do -
